Lamy Rheology
Viscometry and Texture
Lamy Rheology with a long history in contract manufacture have been designing and man-
ufacturing their own range of viscometer products in their base near Lyon, France since
2006. Lamy distribute worldwide and their entry level viscometers are great value, the
novel “Black One” costs less than €2,500 (vat extra) complete with accessories.
The Low Shear LS400 uniquely measures low viscosities at low
shear rates and with small sample volumes. This uses a
COUETTE principle of rotating cup and fixed bob to measure
the Torque; the LS400 rotates at 0.1 to 100 rpm
and Torque goes from 0 to 0.006 mNm in 5 ranges.
A new product from Lamy is the affordable Tex’an
200 texture analyser shown at Pittcon and Achema.
This system allows measurement of “simple com-
pression”, TPA tests, BLOOM tests and TRACTION in
food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
Malvern:
Mastersizer 3000
Laser Diffraction Sizing
Malvern Instruments’ range of particle analysers has evolved to meet the needs of users in industry and
academia. Through continuous innovation with laser diffraction technology, Mastersizer has become the
gold standard
particle size analyser. Mastersizer has always offered good software, reliable optics and
full validation support. Now we have a completely new Mastersizer with novel software, advanced engi-
neering; a totally new bench designed for the next decade! The all new Mastersizer 3000 analyser sizes
particles from 3.5 millimeter right down to 10 nanometer in the smallest of instrument footprints.
To complete the system completely new dispersion units offer simply the best in sample dispersion.
The Aero S dry powder dispersion accessory offers
choice of venturi and sample trays, air pressure and
feed rate, The dedicated air cell has
inlet air filters, is secure to fit in sec-
onds and very easy to clean. The
vacuum collector couples to the air
cell without any further manual in-
tervention!
